Hi all,

Web Connection 7.20 has been released. This is a maintenance release with minimal change impact on existing applications, as most in version updates have been. This release adds a few cool new features:

  • Web Sockets Support
  • Consolidated Administration interface
  • A wwProcess::OnRouting() handler
  • Support for .NET 5.0 in wwDotnetBridge
  • Updated local Web Connection Web Server for .NET 5.0
  • JSON parsing Improvements

You can take a look at the very detailed Release Post and the full Web Connection Change log here:

Check it out...

Nice! And the web sockets support is very cool.

Ha - it would probably help if I actually enabled the Web Sockets support on the live server 😄

The Web Socket sample now should work.

I think the web sockets support is wonderful. Of course you can always build your broker using .NET Core or Node.js but having that inside WWWC framework is probably going to be easier. Do you have a guide or article explaining what is needed to implement this feature in existing VFP web applications?

Also, is there a way you can submit messages from the server (i.e one-way client notifications)?

Thanks Dimitar Hristov

We've been trying out the new administration interface. No problems on systems running under the .NET handler but yesterday we tried it on two installations that are using ISAPI. In both cases we get the error:

Can't find or open page administration.wc

We verified that the new DLLs had been installed on that system and that the .wc extension is properly mapped.

Is it possible that the new admin page was only fully implented in WebconnectionModule.DLL and not in WC.DLL?

Yes ISAPI is not supported for the new Admin/Page features... if using ISAPI you need to use the old admin links.
